What Defines You As A "Furry"? - Page 2

Damn creepy retards.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. Usually if you start a furry thread, one or more of the following events take place:
- IQs drop to catastrophically low levels
- Troll population rises exponentially
- Flame levels reach critical mass

If you're not interested in reading a gigantic article, here's a summary: Anyone who is considered a "furry" has some degree of interest in or affinity for anthropomorphic animal characters ("anthros.") Of course, the term is used to various ends, and there is no real standardized factor by which you can be judged as a "furry". Some say that you simply need to like the characters to be a furry, others say that you must be really involved or in a certain mindset (the practice of rendering oneself as an anthro creature, or making a "fursona", could be considered an example). As with any sort of fandom, there are a few people who have gone to extremes and become very obsessed and/or do perverted ****. Even so, you shouldn't stereotype: You don't need to have sexual desires for the characters, or see yourself as an animal, or other crap. If you like it, you like it. That's it.

So in a sence, some of those random anime-watchers could be "furries" for enjoying the watching of animals. This is quite interesting.

As long as footbull doesn't ruin it none of these things should happen.

tofu, what kind of "anime-watching" are you talking about here? Straight up furries-only stuff, or things like those occasional Neopets specials and whatnot? (Sorry, couldn't think of any titles as examples...)

**tofurox** · 03-27-2009, 07:26 PM

Dude, I deleted my posts because I was being funny, you don't have to quote everything I say.

Back on topic here....

My friend watches anime all the time. And he like to see animals, but not in a bad way....

He probably means the ones with a bunch of cat-girls etc.

Meh, I'm one of those people then, but I just think those characters are too adorable, and that's it. I don't flaunt it everywhere also, just if it comes up in a conversation lol.

W/E im not even gonna bother

Chachazero1 · 03-27-2009, 07:41 PM

Huh, I guess after what I've heard about furries I just kinda assumed they all run around wearing fur suits and have sex. But hey, I was wrong it seems you really DO learn something new every day.

Crashfan3 · 03-27-2009, 07:43 PM

Ignore the village idiot, Eeumi.

For the good of the conversation, and in response to what Flandre Scarlet said, I'll let it be known that I own a DVD box set of Tokyo Mew Mew that I've watched a few times, and I don't think that exactly classifies me as a furry.

Well, I was referring to those who would be obsessed with the "furry characters" appearing in anime, and seek out more anime that contain those similar characters.

furrydom is nothing like bestiality

the only thing its close to being bestiality by is the animal part. but one is human like animals that are all fluffed up and cartoony and the other one is actual huge hairy animals. picture two cute cartoon bears with giant dicks ****ing each other. now picture a real 700 pound grizzly ****ing a 18 year old virgin.

there you go
